FLEXITOL^®

FLEXITOL^® Metal

This two-piece system is made entirely of metal and can thus withstand high loads.
The minimal space requirement in the joint makes this solution easy to install in an existing space – even retrospectively.

Adjustment element

• Integrated friction
• High-strength metal adjustment element

Fastening element

• Compact system size
• Blind rivet nut in various designs
• Easy assembly using proven blind rivet technology

 

 

 

 

FLEXITOL^® Hybrid

FLEXITOL^® Hybrid is a multi-part system intended primarily for use in large series production.
The modular design makes it easy to modify differing base heights and tolerance compensation dimensions.

To ensure as high as possible a transmission of forces, in this hybrid solution (plastics/metal) the transmitting components are made of metal. They are also enclosed by a nut cage made of plastic.

The system is supplied pre-assembled and can be installed in the receiving component in this configuration by means of a setting tool.
The integrated blind rivet nut is already present as a fastening thread.
Alternative fastenings, such as clip solutions for example, are also available.

 

 

 

 

FLEXITOL^® Plastic

The FLEXITOL^® Plastic consists of an adjustment element and a fastening element made of plastic, and is supplied pre-assembled. This subassembly is screwed into the pilot hole in the receiving component made of plastic.

The bayonet variant offers an additional connection option for the base element. Here, the FLEXITOL^® Plastic is introduced into a keyhole-shaped opening and latched by rotating it by a quarter turn. The subsequent installation procedure is identical to the one for the self-tapping variant.

Depending on the version, a self-tapping metal screw or a metric screw can be used as the fastening screw.

 

 

 

 

FLEXITOL^® K' in K'

For so-called "banjo screws", the function of the K' in K' thread is also extremely important. The K' in K' thread cuts its own pilot thread into the existing plastic bore hole.

Due to a resistance effect, the banjo screw can only be screwed further in or out with a higher torque.

FLEXITOL^® Eco

The new FLEXITOL^® Eco is another highlight in our established portfolio of tolerance compensation systems.

The tolerance compensation fastener consists of a plastic cage with an in-moulded metal nut.
The tolerance compensation already takes place during installation when the plastic cage is compressed and automatically adapts to the respectively required tolerance compensation measure.
No further adjustment process is necessary.
Due to the clip geometry in the bottom part of the plastic overmoulding, the fastener can also be pre-assembled and does not disassemble during transport.

The fastener can for example be used to fasten dash panels inside vehicle bodies.

Your advantages

• High performance reliability due to the simple principle of action
• Cost-effective tolerance compensation fastener
• Reduced weight
• Pre-assembly possible

FLEXITOL^® special solutions

Attaching a rear light with a manual tolerance compensation system.

The spring unit (1) ensures that the rear light is always pulled onto the car body with a defined tensile load. An additional contact point on the car body is provided with an adjustable spacer (2).
In addition, the surface offset between the rear light and the side panel of the car body is achieved by means of an adjustable guide (3). During installation, the rear light is screwed to the spring unit of the car body from inside the boot.
Once installed, the rear light can be aligned to an ideal gap size. The spring compensates for the alignment movements. To be able to remove the rear light for servicing, the spring unit (1) can be unscrewed and the original position is maintained.
